In Freud's dangerous, dazzling Vienna of 1903, an ingenious doctor
and an intrepid detective again challenge psychotic criminals
across a landscape teetering between the sophisticated and the
savage, the thrilling future and the primitive past.
On opposite sides of the city, two men are found beheaded on church
grounds. Detective Inspector Oskar Reinhardt is baffled. Could the
killer be mentally ill, someone the victims came into contact with?
Some are even blaming the murders on the devil. But when
psychoanalyst Dr. Max Liebermann learns that both victims were
vocal members of a shadowy anti-Semitic group, he turns his gaze to
the city's close-knit Hasidic community. The doctor is drawn into
an urban underworld that hosts and hides virulent racists on one
side and followers of kabbalah on the other. And as the
evidence--and bodies--pile up, Liebermann must reconsider his own
path, the one that led him away from the miraculous and toward a
life of the mind.
